This one was a little tricky. First of all, the hint above doesn’t work. It just puts the thumbs up above the button.

The first thing you have to do is set up your button. button class=“btn btn-block btn-primary” and close it off with an arrow.
Second, open up a new class for your thumbs up with an arrow. i class=“fa fa-thumbs-up” and close it off with an arrow.

Third, close off the the closest element (the i element) and get it out of the way using /i, then add text to your button (like) then close off the button element.

There’s alot of open and close arrows in this so if it’s not working for you check that everything has a container. I had put the like right after the button element and still got a pass even though my closing button and i arrows were pink.

To simpifly what @Stratus41298 said, just put all the “i” class (with the open and close tag) between your first button tag and the word “like”.

<button class="btn btn-block btn-primary"><i class="fa fa-thumbs-up"></i>Like</button>

Also, tks a lot @Stratus41298.
